A two-piece band, Big Sexy complements each other perfectly, each bringing to the table a uniquely distinctive persona that contributes to the cohesiveness of their finished product. The lyrics mirror the society we live in, spanning love, heartbreak, infatuation, mental health, social and political commentary, and everything in between. Listening to some of their music, it feels like a sugarcoated diary, sugarcoated in such a way that you can see beauty even in pain. This is not something that can be said of many bands or artists out there, and that is why I feel that Big Sexy deserves all the attention and limelight they can get, because they bring such a unique blend of raw talent, introspective lyrics, and an unfettered passion for storytelling.
This year has seen Big Sexy consistently release amazing music as they build their treasure trove. Their latest release, “Mighty Maxine,” is a heartfelt, catchy, infectious, and engaging anthem. It is also an incredible showcase of the band’s peerless craftsmanship and knack for creating music from any scenario.
“Mighty Maxine” follows the attention-grabbing story of songwriter Gary Maccagnone, who is taking a break from recording in his studio, and suddenly, just across the street in the parking lot, he spots this beautiful girl, and she catches his attention as she squeezes her way through his Chevrolet. She has the looks of a goddess, and the carvings on her body are simply obscene. Simply put, he feels this is the girl of his dreams, and as you can probably imagine, he goes on to pursue the girl of his dreams!
The tone is very friendly, warm, and inviting as the thoughtfully placed drums drive the rhythm of the song forward, backed by the mellifluent guitar melodies, creating the perfect scene for the lead singer’s expressive and ear-catching vocals that are smooth and powerful.
This song adopts a story structure, capturing the listener’s attention from the very first note. The classic rock ’n’ roll vibe exuded by the heavy beat and simple melodies underscores its danceable quality, while the storytelling and acoustic foundation highlight its stylistic country flair; and the catchy lyrics and memorable chorus give it an undeniable anthemic appeal, making it an engaging masterpiece.
“Mighty Maxine” is the kind of track you play without knowing what to expect, and it goes on to exceed all your expectations…unforeseen ones included! This is a full package with such a great storyline and equally excellent production and execution.
Another bona fide standout to add to their impressive catalog, “Mighty Maxine” deserves critical acclaim from anyone who prides themselves on having impeccable musical taste.
